AlphaMasked Images showing up with pink instead of texture (Cycles) V 2.78
Make sure the Cycles Renderer is set as the render engine.

A pink color in texture view means, that there are missing images. You probably moved your Blender file to another directory or changed paths of image textures.

Go into textured mode in the 3D View. In the node editor select the desired image texture node.


If the source path is not found, the message "Can't Load Image" will be displayed. Click on the folder icon to locate your image file (marked green).
